Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. The amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Navy Air Service to form the RAF in April 1918 created a fierce competition for resources with the Navy. This provocative study follows the bureaucratic struggles, challenging the conventional view of the superiority of air power to stress the importance of naval actions in the early phases of the Second World War.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. The change from sail to steam in the Royal Navy was underway by 1850 and in the following decades the work and life of ordinary seamen changed radically as new jobs, servicing the engines and operating the sophisticated gunnery and communications systems, replaced the traditional lot of the sailor. This well-researched history chronicles the increasing professionalization and specialization of the lower deck as the Navy rapidly evolved and introduced many of the roles and practices which are familiar today.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: New. The Royal Navy was the largest in the world in 1939, and conscription during the Second World War increased the total of employed men to 790,000, the vast majority of whom were seamen of the 'lower deck'. Based on primary research and first-hand accounts, this book examines the lives of these sailors during a period that has seen the introduction of women, the end of hammocks and the rum ration, and ever more emphasis on technical skills.
